list and dismiss

 

the day woes

likewise terrors of night

 

picture won’t work

colour’s not right

 

hangover

bad dream

travelling ache

 

griefs

difficulties of expression

 

no knowing what to do

or anyway in which order

 

then there are the outgoings incoming

the unexpected

and mainly unfair

 

which brings us roundabout to lacks

 

wish there were more of this that

hours in the day for instance

 

terrible things are happening everywhere

much worse happened before

 

it is the past we have survived after all

but not without the ongoing

Cassandra sooth forebodings

 

things come into the head unbidden

 

process of ageing

the feeling fears

 

demons and devils

one might have once said

 

then there’s that tickle

or call it an itch

 

skin all the way through to the soul

 

various non existences trouble –

absence of to whom to pray

 

a long long list of regrets

yes, it’s a mess, we all know

 

does the right thing nag you?

 

easy to say this I know

and may not always do the trick

but

(and please don’t take this personally,

it’s really only a note to myself)

just get on with it
